6.9 Mounting equipment on the side rail
6.9.1
Mounting equipment on the side rail
• Attach a stiffener to the inside of the side rail as
shown in Fig. 1 when installing bolts to support
heavy components on the side rail overhang. This
will prevent cracks in the frame due to resonance
of the component if the static load caused by the
weight of the component exceeds 100 kg {220 lb}
of force for each bolt.
Example:
• As a rule, avoid attaching additional equipment
together with components (fuel tank, battery, etc.)
which are already installed to the frame side.
When this is absolutely necessary, increase the
size of the bolts, or the number of bolt locations, to
decrease the stress on each bolt.

Risk of accident
The use of parts, assemblies or conversion parts
and accessories which have not been approved
may jeopardize the safety of the vehicle.
Before installing any attachments, special-purpose
bodies, equipment or carrying out any
modifications to the basic vehicle and/or its
assemblies, you must read the relevant sections of
the vehicle Owner's Manual, as well as the
operating and assembly instructions issued by the
manufacturer of the accessories and items of
optional equipment.
You could otherwise fail to recognize dangers,
which could result in injury or death.
Official acceptance by public testing bodies or
official approval does not rule out safety hazards.
All federal, state, and local regulations and codes
and registration requirements must be complied
with.
